DAMAGE EFFECTS

CRIPPLED A temporarily Crippled limb lasts until a Pin marker is removed from the character.

KNOCKED PRONE The target is knocked Prone.

LEG GRAZED The character’s movement is reduced by -1” the next time he moves.

SEVERED The effects of a Severed limb are the same as for a permanently Crippled one.

STAGGERED Target is losing consciousness, and will go OOA when he next rolls 1–4 on ANY die roll. A TN10 First Aid roll will remove the Staggered effect.

SUPERFICIAL DAMAGE If this result occurs, the attacker chooses one of the following effects:

• Tear in suit: The target’s armour is no longer Sealed, or loses Plasma Proofing.

• Small weapon destroyed: A one-handed or Primitive weapon is destroyed.

• Disarmed: A two-handed weapon is knocked up to 3” away from the target (the attacker chooses where it lands).

• Equipment Destroyed: One Civilian (C) piece of equipment on the target is destroyed.

• Equipment Damaged: One of the target’s Cybernetic Enhance-ments or one of its Military (M) or Intelligence (I) items of equipment is damaged. A TN15/2 Tech Complex Task is required to repair it.

WEAPON DROPPED Any weapon held in the affected limb falls to the ground, adjacent to the character’s base.

Morale Every time a character goes OOA, all squad members must pass a TN10 Morale roll

RESULTS OF MORALE ROLLS

• Critical failure the character Panics.

• Failure the character receives 1 Pin and 1 Stress.

• Success the character fights on as normal.

• Critical success gain Steadfast 1 until the end of the game, or remove all Pin and Stress markers – player’s choice.

PANIC A Panicking character rolls d20: 1–10, the character Surrenders, 11–20, the character Routs.

SURRENDER The character immediately drops all weapons and can be automatically captured by any active opponent within 4”.

ROUT The character Sprints towards the closest table edge, and does so every time the initiative switches. He will not perform any action other than attempting to run off the table. A character with Leadership may rally the Routing character by passing a TN10 Leadership roll. No LoS between leader and Routing character is needed. If the attempt fails, the Routing figure immediately performs another Sprint. A figure moving off the table may not be rallied. If the figure is rallied, it may then activate again as normal. Routing figures lack the concentration to use Psionic Abilities or a Quantum Harness, but will use Jump and Flight Packs to move faster and avoid obstacles.

Make a TN10 Melee roll with the following modifiers versus a target within 1”

MELEE COMBAT RESULTS • Critical failure: The opponent may choose to

either immediately perform a Free Hack, have the attacker drop the weapon used in the attack, or have the attacker fall Prone.

• Failure: The attack misses and no Damage is dealt. If the roll fails by 5 or more, the opponent may perform a free counterattack or move 2” away, leaving the melee without suffering a Free Hack.

• Success: Normal Damage is inflicted, as per the weapon type.

• Critical success: The blow inflicts +2 Damage, unless it was an unarmed attack.

LEAVING MELEE If you leave a melee with an opponent who is not Prone, Entangled, Mind-con-trolled, Panicking or OOA, that opponent performs a Free Hack against you. This is a +2 Surprise Attack. You may not counterattack. Free Hacks are ignored if one of the following applies:

1. You have the Free Disengage Trait.

2. Your opponent fails a melee attack by 5+ points and you opt to move away from the melee.

3. You move away using a Jump Pack, bionic legs, Flight Pack, Levitation, Quantum Harness, Blink or Teleportation.

RANGED COMBAT RESULTS

• Critical failure: Roll a die. On 1–15, the weapon is out of ammo and cannot shoot until one action has been used to reload it. On 16–20, the weapon malfunctions and cannot shoot until it has been fixed by performing a TN10 Tech roll. Some weapons (those with the Infinite Rounds and Overheating special rules, p.26–27) have unique rules for critical failures.

• Failure: The attack misses and no Damage is dealt.

• Success: Normal Damage is inflicted, as per the weapon type.

• Critical success: The attack inflicts +2 Damage.

CALLED SHOTS A Called Shot must be announced before rolling to hit, and then the appropriate modifier applied in addition to any other modifiers (for range, Pins, etc.). Called Shots may not be combined with a Hail of Fire.

HAIL OF FIRE Automatic weapons may perform two attacks at -2 per action instead of the usual single attack. The shots must be directed at the same target, or at two targets within 4” of each other. Targets must be declared before rolling – you may not determine the effect of the first shot before assigning your second shot.

OFF-HAND AND ONE-HANDED RIFLE SHOTS If a character’s main arm is Crippled, he may still fire a one-handed weapon at -1 with his other hand. This penalty does not apply if the character has Ambidexterity. An alien or robot with Extra Arms has one ‘main’ arm per pair of arms. A character with a Crippled arm may fire a two-handed weapon with one hand at -3. A character with all arms Crippled may not fire.

FIRING AND MELEE A character may not perform ranged attacks if involved in melee. However, one-handed weapons may be fired as part of a melee (see Melee Combat, p.18). If a character fires into a melee, he will hit a random target unless he has the Fire into Melee Trait.

LONG WEAPONS Long weapons allow a character to attack an opponent 1” away, but may not be used against a target in base-to-base contact. I

UNARMED ATTACKS AND MARTIAL ARTS Unarmed attacks are performed at -2 and are Damage 0. Martial artists ignore the -2 and add their Martial Arts level to the Melee roll AND to Damage. When you attack a target who has both Martial Arts and Weapon Master, apply only the higher of the two levels, not both.

POWERFUL BLOWS Powerful Blows are melee attacks performed by spending multiple actions. A two-action Powerful Blow is at +1 to hit. One using three actions is at +2 or +1 to Damage.

OUTNUMBERING Outnumbering an enemy grants +1 to Melee rolls for each friend in contact with the same enemy, up to a maximum of +3. Prone, Entangled, Mind-controlled or OOA models do not count for this purpose. In a melee involving multiple combatants from both sides, count all figures belonging to each side, and apply the outnumbering modifier as normal.

CALLED BLOWS A melee attack can be aimed at a specific body part or weapon. Use the same rules as Called Shots (see p.16).

PRONE FIGURES A Prone figure attacks at -2 in melee, is attacked at +2 in melee, may not counterat-tack, and does not count for outnumbering purposes. Standing up requires one action.

THROW GRENADE ROLL To throw a primed grenade to a designated point up to 12” away, perform a TN10 Throw Grenade roll, adding +1 for every level in the Chucker Trait.

THROW GRENADE RESULTS • Critical failure: The grenade

malfunctions and does not explode.

• Failure: The opponent may reposition the point of impact by 1” for each two full points by which the roll was failed (e.g. on a roll of 5, the opponent could move the point of impact by up to 2”.

• Success: The grenade explodes at the designated point. Anyone within its blast radius is hit and automatically knocked Prone. Damage is determined for all targets individually, in an order chosen by the thrower.

• Critical success: As a success, and the thrower may increase Damage by 1. If using a Fragmentation or Plasma grenade, the thrower may instead choose to create a dust cloud of the same size as the blast radius that blocks LoS. This cloud provides a limited visibility modifier of -3, and clears when initiative switches.
